Letter "C" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 12 and Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures
This Week's Prompts Starts with "C." A Favorite.
For Tom "C"loud.
Tom's "Cloud": Pretty Cloud Lining
For James Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures.
From left to right, my inherited watch, Mrs. Jim's father's clock, and my grandfather's pocket watch. Grandpa had hocked this clock when he needed to come back to Nebraska after having found the soil was for miserable farming soil, full of rocks as well.
A Favorite: Mrs. Jim has a nice Clock Collection for an amateur.
I have three clocks, an "atomic clock" still in a box, a Western Union rectangular wall clock pictured here, and the 'inherited watch' also above. Technically Grandpa's watch is mine as well as the kitchen clock in my growing up home. I inherited the wall clock. My parents, former owners, were married in 1932. The ones you are seeing are all in Mrs. Jim's collection.

Starts with "C": Well, I 'have' a Corvette. Last week, the "B" post, I mentioned that a Corvette was on my Buckett List. Yes, I 'have' it, a toy, but it belongs to my younger daughter, a Barbie Doll Corvette. She left it here with most of her toys.
Mrs. Jim inherited these traveling clocks.
This clock was in the kitchen of our farmhouse growing up. My parents received it as a wedding present. Note in its location photo, left, is another clock in the upper right, possibly my grandparents.
Mrs. Jim inherited these three furniture top clocks as well.
Mrs. Jim inherited the antique clock on the left, the history is on the note behind the front door, see below. We purchased the newer Emperor clock on the right. I had to assemble it from mail order although they were also selling these models in kit form.
The note on the door on the bottom left above was pasted on.
It tells that the History a little of the Antique clock above to the left. The note reads,
- Thomas Whipp (maker), Rochdale Long case clocks, 1820-1842 (sources I found said "circa 1770")
- Rochdale is 10 miles North of Manchester
- Purchased in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, 5 July 1965
